NATIONS DIFFER.
FRANCE AND BRITAIN. NATIONALITY, PROBLEM. By Telegraph.—Press Assn —Copyright. Received Aug. 29, 12.30 a.m. London, August 28. For the first time two first rank Powers appeared in opposition before the League of Nations. The dispute concerns Tunis and Morocco, about which Britain placed a motion on the next agenda. The British complain that the French have no right to impose French nationality upon British subjects born in Tunis and Morocco, which are not French dominions, but merely protectorates. Britain frequently protested that British subjects of Maltese origin were handcuffed and compelled to join the French army. France contends that she possesses sovereign rights to impose her nationality on foreigners born in her protectorates. France refused to submit the dispute to arbitration, whereupon Britain handed over the dispute to the League Council meeting on August 30.
